Uscreen vs. Kajabi
Uscreen vs. Kajabi: Which video membership platform is right for you?
You’ve built a brand people want to be a part of. Don’t let your platform hold you back. Join 4,000+ people who use Uscreen to grow recurring revenue, retain members long-term, and scale their businesses without limits.
Uscreen is a video monetization platform built to run a video membership where your members can watch your content in a Netflix-style video catalog, be a part of an exclusive community, and live events they show up for, all across branded web, mobile, and TV apps.
Kajabi is an all-in-one platform best known for selling courses, coaching, and digital products, with membership features added more recently.
Both can power recurring revenue, but they differ most in the quality of support (we have 24/7 support with dedicated coaching sessions), how central video is to the experience, how deep the app and TV offering goes, and how community fits into the member journey.
Uscreen vs. Kajabi: A head-to-head comparison
The clearest way to see the difference is feature by feature. Uscreen leads on the things a video membership runs on every day like native live streaming with chat, a built-in calendar and community, and fully branded mobile and TV apps. We further provide launch coaching sessions and round the clock support for all your queries.
Here's how the two platforms compare.

What sets Uscreen apart from Kajabi
Watch this short video to see how Uscreen helps education and fitness creators grow sustainable membership businesses beyond what Kajabi was built for.
Why Kajabi users switch to Uscreen
Video your members actually binge.
On Kajabi, video runs through a Wistia plug-in, and members can't search or filter your content. On Uscreen, video is the product: a Netflix-style library with a native player, search, filters, chapters, and auto-generated captions, built for discovery and repeat viewing.
Go live in 3 clicks, with chat built in.
Kajabi has no native live streaming. Uscreen does, with interactive chat, RSVPs, and countdown timers, straight from your dashboard. Our users who live stream at least once a week see a 2.5x revenue increase.
Tools that turn watching into a habit.
Memberships live or die on whether members come back. Uscreen's built-in calendar, streaks, and badges give them a reason to. Videos featured on the calendar get 12x more viewers. Kajabi has none of these.
Community built into the same app.
Kajabi runs community on a separate tool that sends your members to another website. Uscreen keeps everything in one branded app: videos, channels, polls, challenges, direct messages, and member uploads, with nothing to switch between.
Support at every stage of your journey.
Support is a big reason people pick Uscreen and stay. You get help at every step: migration support to move your content over, hands-on onboarding, 24/7 technical support, growth coaching, and a dedicated success manager who knows your business.

Which platform is right for you?
Choose Kajabi if you're selling structured courses
Kajabi is a solid fit if your business revolves around one-and-done course sales, coaching funnels, and digital product launches. It has strong sales funnel builders, built-in blogging, and supports product types like podcasts and coaching programs.
If your revenue model is primarily launch-based (sell a course, run a funnel, repeat), Kajabi was designed for that workflow.
Choose Uscreen if you're building a recurring video membership
Uscreen is perfect if you want to build a serious video membership business with an active community. If your members are paying monthly to access your content, community, and live events, Uscreen gives you the exact infrastructure to grow that.
Branded mobile and TV apps, built-in community with channels and challenges, native live streaming, and a complete CRM that handles marketing, automation, and member management are all included in one platform.
Our marketing tools cover the full member lifecycle: lead capture and landing pages to acquire members, funnels and abandoned-cart recovery to convert them, and broadcasts, re-engagement, and win-back automations to keep them.
When you outgrow Kajabi
Most Kajabi-to-Uscreen migrations follow a pattern.
You start with a course, build an audience, and realize you want ongoing membership revenue instead of one-off sales. But Kajabi caps contacts and active members per plan, doesn't offer TV apps, separates community from content, and lacks native live streaming.
That's usually the inflection point. Uscreen's migration team has handled more than 1,000 transitions, transferring content, subscribers, and payment history with zero downtime.
A Kajabi alternative – built for sustainable, recurring revenue
From day one, Uscreen was built for video subscription businesses, connecting monetization, engagement, retention, and branded apps inside one unified platform designed for long-term growth.
Video-first, by design
On Uscreen, video isn’t just a lesson format. It’s the foundation of your business. With a native video player, intuitive catalog, auto-generated captions, advanced search, custom filters, and seamless playback across desktop and apps, your content is organized for discovery, binge-watching, and repeat engagement.
Built for the entire member lifecycle
Uscreen includes a full CRM that includes unlimited contacts, plus automations that fire on member behavior: tag and segment, then auto-send a welcome series at signup, a re-engagement nudge when watch time drops, a win-back after a cancellation, an abandoned-cart reminder, or an upsell when they're ready. The proof: abandoned-cart recovery has generated $19M+ and subscription upsells $27M+ for Uscreen users.
Habit-building tools that drive engagement
Uscreen's built-in community, calendar, streaks, badges and challenges keep members coming back consistently. Our members with community see 2x less churn, and videos featured on the calendar have 12x more viewers. Because in a subscription-based business, engagement is essential for growth.
Your brand in their pocket and on their big screens
Your members aren't sitting at a desk. They're on the couch, at the gym, or on the go. Reach your members on their phone and TVs with fully branded mobile & TV apps. With customization options, ecommerce integrations, push notifications, offline viewing, personalized playlists, and seamless community access, Uscreen apps don't just reduce friction, they make your membership something members reach for by default.

From there, our migrations team will handle the heavy lifting, including helping you migrate your existing content, subscriber data, and payment details. No downtime, no missed revenue, and an upgraded experience for your members!
Does Uscreen support supplemental content (PDFs)?
Absolutely! Uscreen understands the power of enriching your video content with additional resources, allowing you to create a more comprehensive and engaging learning experience for your viewers.
With Uscreen, you can seamlessly add various supplemental files alongside your main videos. These files can include PDFs, images, Word Docs, and more. By adding supplemental content, you can significantly increase the value of your video catalog or courses. Viewers will appreciate the extra resources that help them learn more effectively and retain the information better.
How can I make my courses more engaging and interactive?
Engagement isn't just about great content — it's about giving members reasons to keep showing up. Uscreen gives you the tools to make that happen.
Go live in 3 clicks with native live streaming and integrated chat, so you can connect with your members in real time across every device. Use the built-in calendar to market upcoming live sessions and on-demand content, so members always know what's next. Plus, videos on the calendar get 12x more viewers.
You can keep members coming back between content drops with streaks, badges, and challenges that reward consistency and make progress feel tangible. And with topic-specific community channels, polls, direct messages, and user-generated video uploads, your members aren't just watching, they're participating. Because in a subscription business, the members who feel connected are the ones who stay.
How long does a Kajabi-to-Uscreen migration take?
Most migrations take 30 to 60 days from start to finish. You're paired with a dedicated migration specialist who handles content transfers, subscriber data, and payment history. Your existing membership keeps running the entire time, so there's no revenue gap or downtime. Your members don't need to re-register or re-enter payment details. Over 1,000 people have already made the switch.
Does Uscreen have better community features than Kajabi?
Uscreen's community is built into the same platform as your video catalog, calendar, and live events. Members get public and private channels, polls, challenges, direct messages, user-generated video uploads, streaks, and badges. Kajabi acquired a third-party community tool that lives on a separate site from your content. Uscreen members with community enabled see 2x less churn and 50% higher engagement.
